GOES-R, the first of NOAA’s highly advanced geostationary weather satellites, lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on the 19th of November 2016. The satellite will boost the nation’s weather observation network and NOAA’s prediction capabilities, leading to more accurate and timely forecasts, watches and warnings.

The skills taught in the webinars will enable participants to develop their own online or face-to-face remote sensing trainings for their organization or community of practice.

These webinars are intended to organizations or individuals with experience in remote sensing who wish to develop remote sensing training courses or programs. It is also intended for those with experience in remote sensing training who wish to learn more about training best practices.

The webinars will take place 13, 20 and 27 October. For more information please see http://arset.gsfc.nasa.gov/all/webinars/best-practices-2016

Offered by Future Learn, this is a free online course created by EUMETSAT in collaboration with research partners from Plymouth Marine Laboratory, National Oceanography Centre, CLS, Mercator Ocean, and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

This course is designed for people who want to learn and explore more about Earth observation and ocean monitoring from space. It is ideal for new potential EO marine data users as well as existing professionals working in other areas of EO, oceanography or environmental science. It will also help policy-makers, decision-makers, communicators, educators and the general public gain a better insight into the use of satellite data in environmental and ocean monitoring.
